Yea, just plug in kit, not retrofit.

Beam pattern doesn't look good.

its acutally pointing down on a drive way, and trust me, they are off a acura TL S i took them off the totalled car. the reason its in a spot is because the angle the car is at. the light is so bright. i'll get a bettter picture soon. i put h4 bases on them, but i need the turkey basters. i should be getting those in a few days, the light pattern will be alot better

holy glare.....

boy I hope those shields take away some of that glare. I would hate to be oncoming traffic. You have to do a real retrofit with OEM projectors from BMW, mercedes, audi, etc.... Now those retrofits look nice.
